Hi, and here is the promised amendment which will require a maximum of floor(Q) developers to second a GR. PROPOSAL START ======================================================================== General Resolutions are an important framework within the Debian Project. Yet, in a project the size of Debian, the current requirements to initiate one are too small. Therefore the Debian project resolves that a) The constitution gets changed to not require K developers to sponsor a resolution, but floor(Q). [see §4.2(1)] b) Delaying a decision of a Delegate or the DPL [§4.2(2.2)], as well as resolutions against a shortening of discussion/voting period or to overwrite a TC decision [§4.2(2.3)] requires floor(Q) developers to sponsor the resolution. c) the definition of K gets erased from the constitution. [§4.2(7)] (Numbers in brackets are references to sections in the constitution). ======================================================================== PROPOSAL END Practical changes: Taking the definitions of the latest GR we had, Current Developer Count = 1018 Q ( sqrt(#devel) / 2 ) = 15.9530561335438 K min(5, Q ) = 5 Quorum (3 x Q ) = 47.8591684006314 this will mean that future GRs would need 15 other people to support your idea. -- bye, Joerg Could you please add me to the mirrors@debian.org alias.
